Should I form a Colorado LLC myself?
Probably not. The problem with this option is that a Colorado LLC is not anonymous. This exposes your private information to anyone who cares to look. Most people who are looking are those with legal intentions.
For $125 you will protect your private information, adding a layer of security and making it difficult for anyone to file suit. You will also ensure that all filings are done correctly.
If you still wish to form an LLC on your own please see our Step-by-step Guide to Forming an LLC
What is a registered agent?
A registered agent is a designated individual or entity responsible for receiving legal and official documents on behalf of your Colorado business. You need a registered agent to comply with state requirements, ensure timely receipt of important notices, lawsuits, and government correspondence, and maintain your business's privacy by using their address instead of your own.
Does Colorado require a registered agent?
Yes, all registered Colorado business entities require a registered agent.
Beneficial Ownership Filing
Most LLCs need to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with the federal government’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as part of an ongoing effort to reduce financial crime in the US.
On your BOI report, you’ll provide the name, address, jurisdiction of formation, and tax ID for your LLC, plus identification information (including photocopies of IDs) for your beneficial owners and company applicants. Unlike your state filings, the information in your BOI report is not made public.
Reports can be submitted online through the Beneficial Ownership Secure System (BOSS), and filing is free.
Due dates: Reporting companies formed on or after January 1, 2024, must file their BOI report within 30 days of company formation, while existing companies must file by January 1, 2025 (and don’t need to provide company applicant info).
